Yeah right...:annoyed:

Have a look at the PDF file "Graphs.pdf" at the following link from the Ministry of Economic Developement

www.med.govt.nz

The cost of refined crude has been near stable the last few weeks according to Graph 1. The cost of oil in $US has gone up, but so has the $NZ, so in $NZ the price is near flatlined.
Yes the importer margin has dropped recently, but only coming down from above the average.

As for diesel, look at Graph 4. I would say the importers are doing rather well recently.....:angry

1199374 2011-05-04 11:06:00 Very interesting. Just goes to show how much we are being stiffed. The government & the oil companies love it when the prices are high. Phil B (648)

1199376 2011-05-04 11:58:00 It's quality, not quantity. :p

Anyway, I got a car, in the garage not touched since last winter for ski, unlikely gonna ski this year, insurance dropped, car rego suspended. I just use public transportation or car pool with household.

1199378 2011-05-04 12:20:00 In rangiora the cost today was still $2.18 hope tomorrow its the same. :) bluezone (12434)
1199379 2011-05-04 12:22:00 Rolly is at $2.21.9

I hate how they always price it like that. If you buy 100L you're only going to save 10c, it f's me off to no end.
